I would surmise it was at the BOTTOM (probably on no ones list!) since it was done as one of the easy or housekeeping sections in the beginning? I am quite sure from the coorespondace we have seen on this TA that ALPA did not rush in to "fix" this section at the expense of important gains when the deal took hold. It was explained by JG in the video that the TA's were all the ones already done and the bridge concept was very recent, after these sections had been agreed to.
You are correct, section 18 does not mean much to us. Except the money to cover ALPA pilots work for the Company ,that does help our collective budgets. I do not see the lack of priority that you do, from explanations I have seen on how this TA was structured.
